In someembodiments, the seal ring 27 may be made of a soft silica gel material,and may be fixed onto the light-transmission cover plate 21 by silicagel hot-press molding. The seal ring 27 may also be fixed onto thelight-transmission cover plate 21 via glue adhesion.

It should be noted that the material of the seal ring 27 is not limitedthereto, for example, the seal ring 27 can be made of a foam cottonmaterial. It should further be noted that, in the actual productionprocess, compared with the seal ring 27 made of a silica gel material,the seal ring 27 made of a foam cotton material may require a greaterwidth and larger space. Moreover, as the diameter of the through hole221 of the display screen 22 gets smaller, a sealing space graduallydecreases, and space for receiving the seal ring 27 may be more limited.Compared with the seal ring 27 made of a foam cotton material, the sealring 27 made of a silica gel material, may occupy less space to preventdust and light leakage.

In some embodiments, a thickness of the seal ring 27 may be greater thanor equal to a thickness of the optical adhesive 211, such that the sealring 27 may have a light-shielding function, that is, the seal ring 27,surrounding the through hole 221, can prevent light rays of the displayscreen 22 from being transmitted to the through hole 221. Herein, theterm “thickness” used here refers to a length of the component (such asthe seal ring 27, the optical adhesive 211, and the like) in a directionfrom the light-transmission cover plate 21 to the display screen 22.

In some embodiments, the seal ring 27 may be a circular ring structure.More specifically, a transmission hole may be defined in a middleposition of the seal ring 27; the transmission hole may be configured totransmit signals. It should be noted that the shape of the seal ring 27is not limited thereto, for example, the shape of the seal ring 27 maybe a hollow rectangular structure.
